Review of a two-day, one-night trip to "Datong"

Review of a 2-day, 1-night trip to Datong from Beijing! A relaxing, no-rush, no-frills trip is also possible! This trip is not a military-style, everyone~ It's a relaxing, relaxing trip, suitable for office workers who want to escape the city on the weekend. Destination: Datong City, Shanxi Province. The old town is charming, the food is delicious, it's easy to walk around, and there are many tourist attractions. Day 1 – Take a leisurely stroll in the old town. Recommended itinerary: Huaen Temple Sanhua Temple Taiwang Palace Nine Dragon Wall Fahua Temple Yungang Palace The Old Noble House of the Taiping Taiping Tower The Great Mosque Drum Tower – Free to enter, but the stairs are steep! Walk around the old city wall at night. The south gate area has beautiful lights (10 yuan entrance fee, other areas are free) Day 2 – Visit the world-famous stone carving caves Yungang Stone Caves I recommend coming early to avoid the crowds. (It gets very crowded during school breaks) How to get there: Express train: Beijing North → Datong South (08:22–10:06) Once you arrive, take a taxi to have lunch at 紫泥369 If you arrive before 11:00, you won’t have to wait in line~ You can also book a seat with a great view (private room, amazing view, great service!) For food, Datong is the answer! Those who love flour and noodles will scream because it’s a heaven of “carbs!” Recommended: 紫泥369 Feng Liang Kai Heng Brewery (book in advance/book via WeChat) Luo Xiang Cutlet / Bi-Fold Cutlet / Dong Xiang Cutlet — Every shop has excellent knife-cut noodles! Lucky Cup – Sandthorn flavored tea/juice is very refreshing Pro-style eating tips: You have to go before the shop opens so you don’t have to wait in line. If you go late = definitely disappointed waiting in line~ But if you really miss it, just have the cleaver noodles. Every meal is delicious! Summary: Datong is a lovely city, easy to walk around, easy to travel around, perfect for a weekend getaway. You don’t need to rent a car to travel around. The food is good, the places to visit are packed, and the photos are beautiful! #Datong #TravelChina #Shanxi #ReviewChina #ChillTravelChina #NatureAndCultureTrails #WorkingPeopleCanTravel
